That player should count herself lucky. Did she know what the penalty would have been in a YSISF game?

Had a Cadette (U13) Tournament game: Bunt down 1st, each and every D goes for it, plus I have the BR running down the Line.
Picked up and throw to 1st, my 1st Base Partner asks me the question "Did 1st pull her foot?"
I replied "No she didn't" my partner at 1st calls the 'Out'
A coach comes rushing out of the dugout "Ump" she says "How did you see that she didn't pull her foot?"
"Because i got was in a Good Position and could see over the 4ft Cadettes as I am 6ft 4""
Coach turns and as she is heading back to the Dugout, in a voice loud enough for the Dugout and possibly the TC & UIC to hear says "Well you have better Eye's than me then"

Without a pause I turned to her in a voice just loud enough for all to hear, and said "Yes I do, and right now I can see you are heading to the wrong Gate" as I calmly point to the Gate leading out of the Ballpark!!

She smiled / grinned at me, and simply turned in the direction of Exit!

3rd base 'Big Cheif' Coach rushes up to me and he said "Was that ejection necessary?"

I Calmly said to him "You sent her to me!"

Coach smirks and walks back to his 3rd base position.

Little did I know that as this was my 1st Tournament with them coaching it was a Test.

I had no other issues for the week, so I guess I passed!!

I doubt I would have ejected the coach unless there had been issues with her earlier in the game.

Your post said she was walking to the dugout when she stated your eyes were better than hers. A simple thank you may have been sufficient.

I agree. Unless there was more to the story, I don't think I would have ejected in this case. Dave
